Great news for him. I just hope he never gets spooked and tries to run quickly.

OK ... I know nothing about horses, but I've heard all my life that if it breaks its leg, it's doomed ... the leg never heals.

So,

Is there some magic with Barbaro that HIS leg is healing?
Aren't all bones the same .. like us .. we can be set and the bone comes back together .. does a horse's bone not knit back?

Or is it all in the time and money you have to put into a very long healing time?

Bless our boy!

A small objection here to the headline, lol:

"Barbaro keeps getting better"

There is NO WAY in this world that Barbaro could ever get any *better* than the horse he is with the heart he has and that big personality of his!

Now, his left back hoof can get much better and his right hind leg bone can align more properly and he might improve his gait a little (but it's OK if he doesn't) ... those are "just" body parts getting better!

Barbaro is already the BEST!!!

Go Bobby Go!
